Hello week 3!

[NinkyNoo90]

Done session 1 of week 3 last night.

Woooow, it’s getting hard!

[Mustbemad1]

It’s all in the mind, you will be fine just keep going

[J9_54 Graduate]

Well done NinkyNoo. Yes it will get more challenging now but you weren't sure you could run for 60 seconds without stopping a few weeks ago and you could. This program is marvelous, it builds you steadily and you will surprise yourself when you achieve each milestone. Keep going you are doing really well.

[NinkyNoo90 in reply to J9_54]

Yes very true. It’s my leg muscles hurt so much lol 😂 xx

[J9_54 Graduate in reply to NinkyNoo90]

Are you stretching after your runs? If so maybe you are going a bit too hard for the start so slow down a tad.

[NinkyNoo90 in reply to J9_54]

Nope just do the warm up walk and cool down walk? Lol xxx

[J9_54 Graduate]

That may be partly why your legs hurt so much then lol.

Try some stretches after your warm down walk and you should feel an improvement ;0)

[NinkyNoo90 in reply to J9_54]

Ahhh I’ll give it a go next time. Thank you x

But isn't it a blast to see how you are steadily knocking off those minutes?

Just wait until you can "casually" announce to your friends that you are running in a 5k fundraiser or something

Take it all nice and easy, slow and steady at your own pace and you will be a Graduate :). If ever feeling discouraged, read the beginner posts of some of us Graduates who can truly be counted among the "Unlikly to be Runners"

Wishing you many happy miles in your future

Thank you. Yes it feels amazing after every session I always get home and tell my partner. I ran this today at this speed for this amount of time.

He’s a bit of a fitness freak but very supportive and keeps me motivated and even comes and runs with me if we manage to get to the gym together

Keep it fun
